In the past 50 years, the tech sector has been considered a male-dominated industry. That’s because women only account for 25 percent of the jobs in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics field. This is largely due to the fact that girls interest peak in these area of interest during middle school, only to have their dreams squashed later, according to the U.S. Department Education report back in 2006. But we now have a major opportunity to reverse this trend by use of mobile devices.
So whether it’s teaching science using trivia like games, or mathematics using step-by-step animation problems, applications have proven to be an incredible learning tool for children. Devices like smartphones and iPads, not only offers children…show more content… Once the season has changed and information has been recorded, the material is then recorded based on the timing of leafing, flowering, and lastly, fruiting.

Anything that a real body does throughout the day-to-day basis, this app does. In other words, it eats, digest, smells, listens, pumps blood through the body, get sick, burps, etc.
To begin with, you can choose and name your own avatar and use it to go through the body systems. This includes the avatar having an interactive heart, brain, eye, stomach, mouth, and much more. The app also makes use of the recording features on our smart devices by challenging students to record and capture images they can use on the app. For instance, when students go to the ear, the camera will show you how sound travels to your eardrum by either making noise, or dragging instrument sounds.
